Looks good on speed and descent on approach.Till till 3500 ft before RWY at 123kThen at 1000 ft before RWY at 109k - stalling.Then 85k just before the rocks - climbing, no doubt at full throttle, but not soon enough.

I'm new to site and find this particular recording fascinating. My question, Is Asiana 214 on approach and asked for emergency vehicles or has the crash landing just occured and the Asiana pilot is requesting help after the plane has come to a stop?

Dave, this audio file has made it out into the wild without permission from you. Additionally, many of these sources using the audio are not attributing the source. However, I saw CNN properly attribute the source of the audio, but just wanted to make you aware.

I've listened to a long version and a short version of the audio tape. Both indicate the landing was normal, or perceived to be normal. The Tower audio gives a sudden up tempo about 58 seconds into the tape. In the background, one of the other Controllers can be heard saying "Go Around" to another aircraft. The Controller handling Asiana 214 responded to both of the downed aircraft's radio transmissions with "Emergency vehicles are on the way" and "We have everybody on the way" or something similar.

It is my belief that the Tower crew saw the crash. Based on the audio, and the location of the Tower in relation to the approach end of Runway 28 Left. Their performance after the incident was extraordinary. They immediately moved into "Go Around" Mode.
